Aliko Dangote: The Greatest Threat

Despite its bloody impact on national psyche currently, sectarian killings by extremist group Boko Haram, is by far, not Nigeria’s worst evil, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote believes.

peaking somewhat more of a businessman, keener about growing his expansive business empire thanthe insecurity around him, Mr. Dangote said Nigeria’s notorious deficient infrastructure is far more of a headache than Boko Haram.

“I don’t have any issue with government raising money, that is, loan, so long as it is spent well. Beyond the issue of Boko Haram and insecurity, the greatest threat that confronts us is the threat of decaying and decayed infrastructure. And this is not just in Nigeria but in all of Africa, the greatest threat is infrastructure,” Mr. Dangote told journalists last Wednesday, his 56th birthday.

“Somebody was asked how he would operate in government and the person said he would face only two things – infrastructure and education. And he was asked what about the rest. He said with infrastructure, other things would follow. This is what I think confronts us as the greatest danger even beyond Boko Haram”
